Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cheshire Fire Authority procured an industry-specific GIS and modelling software package, classified under CPV 48100000, for use by FFs. The purchase covers software packages and information systems, with the requirement grouped under the G Cloud 14 arrangement. The buying organisation is Cheshire Fire Authority, based at its headquarters and training centre in Winsford, Cheshire. The selected supplier, NEC Softwares Solutions UK, is a large UK software business based in Hemel Hempstead. This opportunity is relevant to suppliers providing geographic information systems, modelling tools or related software packages for public-sector or emergency-service users, particularly businesses able to supply through the relevant public-sector framework.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Cheshire Fire Authority used a limited procedure under a framework, with an award made without prior publication of a call for competition. The requirement was evaluated on price. The active award went to NEC Softwares Solutions UK on 18 June 2026. The signed contract is valued at £45,000, and was signed on 18 June 2026. One bid was recorded. The tender included an option for one additional 12-month period. The requirement was arranged as a single lot, identified as G Cloud 14, and that lot is marked cancelled even though the associated award and contract are active.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Cheshire Fire Authority for GIS and modelling software rather than general-purpose IT alone. Suppliers competing for a future requirement would need a credible industry-specific software package, with geographic information and modelling functions suitable for the authority’s operational use by FFs. The successful route was a public-sector framework, so businesses would need access to, or a credible route through, the relevant framework arrangement and the ability to meet its terms. Price was the stated evaluation basis, making competitive pricing important alongside software capability. A supplier would also need the capacity to support an authority-wide package and manage any additional 12-month requirement.
